4th person tied to assault of online friend charged

CHICAGO — A 22-year-old man has been charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor for his role in the alleged sexual assault inside his home of a 14-year-old girl, police said Tuesday.

The girl was assaulted on July 24 after meeting with other teenagers who had contacted her through MySpace.com, police said. The assailants--ages 18, 17 and 15--plied her with alcohol until she passed out and sexually assaulted her, according to prosecutors.

Juan Miramontes, 22, of the 4800 block of West Walton Street, was arrested Friday and charged with a misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, Officer Kristina Schuler said. An investigation into Miramontes' role in the incident is ongoing, said Andrew Conklin, a spokesman for the Cook County state's attorney's office.
